The breath of chronic catarrh patient is
often SO offensive that he cannot go into society
and he becomes an object OF disgust. After a
time liberation sets in the spongy bones are at
tackled, and frequently, entirely DESTROYED. A
constant source of discomfort is the dripping of
the purulent secretions into the throat sometimes
producing inveterate bronchitis, which in its turn
has been the exiting cause Of pulmonary disease.
The brilliant results which have attended It's use

Balm as by far the best, if not the only real cure
